Why I am not only willing to, but plan to get arrested in Washington DC this weekend for your freedom.

The future of religious freedom in America is at risk! We Must Obey God Rather Than Men!

On Saturday morning I am getting on an airplane to fly to Washington DC where I plan on kneeling down in front of the White House to pray for our President, our leaders and the for the country my children must grow up in. You may ask what this has to do with getting arrested this weekend, prayer is certainly not illegal yet? In most cases you would be right, however not when that prayer takes place on the sidewalk outside the White House. You can stand and take photos, dance, wave your hands, pick your nose or just stand there, however if you kneel down and pray you are breaking the law and face arrest.

So your next question may be why now? Why are you flying to Washington DC to take this stand this weekend?

With the recent Supreme Court ruling affirming Obamacare, the future of religious freedom in America is at risk, and in grave danger of being entirely wiped out. Obamacare will force institutions, churches and individuals to purchase abortion-inducing drugs, and pay for sterilization and abortion in direct opposition to their beliefs, conscience and historic teachings of the Church.

For the first time in our nation’s history, our government is forcing people of faith and conscience to abandon their deeply held values and core beliefs. The President is now “dictating” to Christians how they are to live their faith. The government is replacing the teachings of Scripture, the Church, and our conscience, demanding that we bow down before their dictates.

If the Christian community does not take a stand and send a powerful message to President Obama that we “must obey God rather than man,” and we “will never comply” with immoral and unjust government mandates that violate our faith — religious freedom and the First Amendment will be trampled before our very eyes.

We cannot simply stand and watch while our religious freedoms are stripped away!

Beginning at 5:00 p.m. on September 29, 2012 we will engage in 72 hours of prayer and arrests in front of the White House. We will prayerfully and peacefully assemble and the only grounds for arrest will be that our location is often a “restricted” zone for free-speech, so our defiance of the HHS Mandate will be taken as unprotected speech.

This will be a two-fold witness. First, we will be a prophetic witness to those within the Church. We will demonstrate with our lives and personal freedom what the future for the church in America will be if the church does not rise in opposition to the ungodly Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate.

We will be a prophetic witness to the Church, declaring: “If they outlaw your faith, the faithful become outlaws.” We will be arrested as an act of civil disobedience, in Godly obedience, as a warning to the church: Stand against this mandate now, join us in Washington, make your voice heard! We must obey God rather than man or soon jail may be the only option.

The Supreme Court has declared Obamacare constitutionalbut the Supreme Court did not and cannot declare it right!

The second part of our witness is to those in government: We are a nation ruled by those we choose by our votes. So we are sending those in elected office a warning: you hold office because we chose you — and we will not comply! We will not pay the $1 monthly abortion surcharge, we will not pay for abortion-inducing drugs and other unconscionable practices demanded of us through the HHS mandate, and we will not surrender our freedoms as delineated in the Declaration and our Constitution.

And we will go to jail before we do.

Today our arrests will be voluntary, a living witness to the church and to the government — tomorrow arrest may be the only option if we are unwilling to pay to have someone’s child murdered.

Please join with us as we send a powerful message to those within the church and to our elected officials through peaceful civil disobedience! Just as MLK was arrested for the rights of his fellow men, so we will stand. This will be 72 hours of prayer and arrests in front of the White House! This moment is fraught with an unprecedented “urgency of the hour”; thus, we are issuing a national call for Christians, and all our fellow Americans of whatever creed, to come to the White House and be part of this prayerful, peaceful, and prophetic witness for life and justice: ActsFive29.

Join us September 29 through October 2, 2012 as we humbly and boldly lay down our lives and our freedom so that future generations will have that freedom, and the liberty to practice their faith.

PS: Bail for each arrest is $100 and I will probably be arrested twice. If you can make a donation to help with bail costs then click on donate above.

Will you join us in prayer and action?

Will you go with us to Washington, D.C. and be part of this historic event?

Hmmmm…. Seeing the link to feeding prolife missionaries gives me an idea if I land this job & it ends up being a lucritive career… I remember the Eli song “Beggars”… I recall trying to support my family & they ended up leaving me anyway…
I think… In keeping with the spirit of that song “Beggars”, I’ll support them missionaries & the homeless… “The ones the world forgot!”

Help me to understand how deliberately getting arrested for deliberately breaking a law can help? I agree that abortion is an abomination. My mother was told to abort me by two medical professionals who said her life was in danger – she obviously did not. But there is a law restricting the use of the sidewalk outside the White House. It may seem a silly law, but it is there. The law does little harm. So how are we justified in breaking it other than to brag that we were arrested? We are justified in breaking immoral laws, but to break a law to make a point. And therefore I find it completely galling to be asked to help to pay your bail. Sorry, you broke the law – not an immorral law – and therefore you pay the consequences. I will keep supporting the pro-life movement, but please stop the silliness.

I agree with you. I’d also go a step further and say that begging for bail money is you basically refusing to take responsibility for your own actions. If you deliberately break a law and are arrested, you should be the one paying your own bail — not everyone else. If you are protesting having to pay for birth control pills because people should take personal responsibility, then you absolutely should be taking personal responsibility for your own criminal behavior.

Deliberately disobeying the law? Let’s not forget the Book of Daniel. A man after God’s own heart. He purposefully refused to eat the king’s choice of food or wine in full obedience to the Lord. God grant him favor (even favor with the king) not because of Daniel’s obedience to the king. But the King of kings! Let’s not forget the 3 men thrown in the fiery furnace because they refuse to bow down before a golden image that the king had made for himself. The Lord was so pleased to see that these men had so much faith in Him that they were willing to be thrown in knowing that God would save them. In fact, if you read on, the men said even if God does not deliver us from the fiery furnace, we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up!
Well, thank God for people in THIS day and age who are still THIS faithful to the Lord and their faith is not watered down! Daniel knew he’d face prison and even death, Daniel’s friends did too. There are SEVERAL stories in the bible similar to this one. Let’s not misinterpret disobedience to the law, from eternal obedience to the Lord! Simple as that! They are asking for bail in case they are arrested. For this cause? Why not? We use monies entrusted to us BY THE LORD, for many other unnecessary things! I can bet there are many among us who don’t really Tithe! Shame on you! Someone said it won’t change what is written to happen in the end times. Who said it’s about changing anything? It’s about being obedient and winning the crown of Glory! Praise God for people such as THESE!!! :0)

My post seems to have disappeared. Maybe it is being moderated, or perhaps because I disagreed with the writers stance of getting arrested, he removed it. So, just one more time, but shorter: how can you teach our children (as a youth outreach director) that it is right to break a law when that law is not immoral i.e. to protest outside the White House? Sir, you do a great dis-service to our cause and to our youth!

That… is just utterly insane. How on earth do they justify a place where you can’t pray when the Constitution guarantees us freedom of speech and freedom of religion? I suppose the same way they justify abortion itself, they have no standing.

God Bless You for taking a stand for religious freedoms. There should be no such things as free-speech zones in this country, especially in front of the White House, which should be the very symbol of free speech.

Tell us more about these missionaries…that is when you get out of Jail….Did they feed you ? Were the guards nice to you… Bet you all prayed all night…Did a priest come today…? Wish I could be with you all… Sending my Guardian Angel

I live in the area and have seen every type of protest. Anyone who protests must do so in a designated area, whether standing, sitting or praying. It’s a safety issue NOT a religious issue. Please don’t confuse one issue for another.

I pray for and support the unborn, but I won’t waste my time trying to influence any election.
Abortion is the result of popular support. The person elected is also a result of the same popular support.

As the two parties will forever take turns at winning, I focus my attention on the primaries.
I focus my energy on educating liberals as this is where I’m most effective.

It is the courage of people like you that will pave the way for freedom as valuable as our soldiers for the USA you are soldiers for Christ sheilding the unborn with your lives. May God make your path clear and all who stand there with you. The real war on women and children in America is abortion which is a nice word for killing babies who should be safe and warm in the womb of loving mothers. When our socitey calls motherhood punishment and enslavement instead of offering loving support we are enslaved to the devil and caught in his snares as free to follow our own plan instead of the Lords. And this secular society after throwing out Gods laws is literally causing havoc God help us and save us from ourselves. Those that sin cant hear the whispers of their guardian angels or their unborn childrens guardian angels. Those that perpetrate those mothers kill twice and will stand before God before their judgement. Our prayers are with you. God bless all of you and your sacrifice

This is unbelievable. Thank you so much for doing this and for sharing. This makes me want to go and be a part of this movement. I urge you, if you are reading this post please go and be a part of this. THIS WILL MAKE AMERICANS STAND AND TAKE NOTICE. Our freedoms are disappearing and it is not a lie or a joke.
